Cordiaminumarrow_forwardYour client suffers from autoimmune-mediated, insulin insufficiency. Following a large meal rich in proteins (accompanied by a glass of wine), Your client takes her insulin injection. Within minutes she begins to experience palpitations and notices a slight tremor in her hands. Mary does not feel dizzy and is able to walk to the fridge and pour herself a glass of orange juice.

Question 10 options: a) Mild hypoglycemia b) Moderate hypoglycemia c) Severe hypoglycemia d) She did not experience hypoglycemiaarrow_forwardFor our patient John with diabetes type II, he can make insulin but his body cells can be resistant to this insulin. Note: activated insulin receptors will activate glucose receptors. John takes a drug called metformin, in conjunction with regulating his diet and exercising. This drug has two main effects. First, it helps reduce hepatic (liver) production of glucose. Second, it helps cells become more sensitive to insulin. Explain how these two effects of metformin can help John.arrow_forward

- A patient has been diagnosed as having a tumor of the adrenal medulla that secretes excessive epinephrine. Explain how this condition leads to secondary hypertension. Be specific about how epinephrine affects various factors and how each leads to hypertension. Be clear and concise.arrow_forwardHypertension is common and most often presents as an independent medical condition. Occasionally, hypertension is a result of an underlying illness and requires different treatment. Because adrenal function is critical for (1) blood pressure, (2) potassium, and (3) glucose homeostasis, an adrenal etiology should be considered in all patients with blood pressure problems accompanied by electrolyte abnormalities, unexplained change in weight, failure to thrive, inappropriate virilization, and anxiety periods. Eight different clinical scenarios are presented below. Each presentation is associated with a different diagnosis and treatment. A discussion of adrenal causes, diagnoses, and treatments for each is found within the chapter. Each numbered case study completes the following opening statement: A 22-year-old woman (previously adopted, not currently taking medications, negative medical history) presents with hypertension, with weakness and rapid onset of obesity.
